Bratz are a series of dolls with a lot
more urban flair than your traditional Barbie. The Bratz are larger dolls
that dress in trendy, urban clothing. They have tougher personalities and
are drawn or made with large heads and large feet. The Bratz girls were
followed by the Boyz, Petz and Lil Bratz. The dolls are extremely popular
and have won many awards. They are also the subject of posters, shows,
Bratz coloring pages and a movie. The wardrobe of the Bratz has expanded to
include favorite sports, themed outfits, and special events. The doll
series keeps expanding as more girls fall in love with the characters, so
the Bratz Pack will be around a long time.

Bratz dolls are
characterized by over-sized heads; with big, wide eyes, full lips, a very
small nose, short body, and shoes that can be snapped on and off. The
original four characters were Yasmin (based on CEO Isaac Larian's own
daughter, Jasmin), Sasha, Cloe and Jade. Over the course of the lines that
followed, Meygan (who ""moved away"" for a while and then came back), Dana,
Fianna, Nevra, Tiana, Kumi, Felicia, Katia, and Kiana (who has been
officially discontinued, see below) have joined the ""Bratz Pack,"" most of
whom were introduced either with playsets or as collector's edition
dolls.
